It was as if the vast complex of buildings beneath our feet was a paradise, not a place of filth and filth.

Ning Yuanli waited under the scorching sun for a long time, but it didn't seem to be long. I just felt that this moment was very difficult, and I especially wanted to rush out of the palace to meet his little girl, the cunning boy who jumped away.

The surroundings are quiet as if a needle drop can be heard, and it is another generational change, and it is an invisible bloody rain.

Before the rainstorm hits, it's always very quiet.

The people outside the palace still come and go to live their own little lives, some are smiling, some are happy, some are sad, some are gritting teeth, but these are closely related to their narrow range of life, and they have no idea what is happening within that high wall.

The weather was just right, and insiders only felt that something seemed to be constantly tumbling and boiling under the bright clouds.

Ning Yuan raised his head and slowly closed his eyes. A familiar voice came from behind him, in the warm summer sun, there was no temperature, "How?" ”

Ning Yuan's expression didn't move, "Didn't His Royal Highness King Shen arrange it earlier?" Why bother asking? ”

"Oh, that's true, but who doesn't want to be a good one?" Li Shen rubbed the jade wrench on his fingers, squinting at his narrow phoenix eyes as if smiling.

Ning Yuan moved his eyelashes, slowly turned his head, glanced at Li Shen in a complicated way, and said solemnly: "I hope you can be worthy of your heart and the world in the future!" ”

This sentence seemed to vaguely answer his question.

Li Shen's eyes crossed the streamer, and he nodded silently, "General Ning has the world in his heart, and this king admires it!" ”

"Don't dare to be." Ning Yuan replied lightly, and each of them turned their heads tacitly, letting their thoughts be empty.

Two men with the same outstanding appearance and circuitous temperament stood one after the other, and their tall and graceful figures dragged on the ground for a long, long time.

-

The silver plate seemed to climb the blue tiles of the palace wall and hang in the blue-black night.

Outside the Yangxin Palace, there are hundreds of civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as various princes.

Everyone had a solemn look on their faces, the corners of their lips drooped, and the sky above the huge courtyard outside the entire Heart Cultivation Hall was covered with oppressive dense clouds.

Suddenly—

A sharp and high-pitched cry came from the Heart Cultivation Palace, "The emperor has died!" ”

Knock, knock, knock –

The tallest building of the Imperial Palace, the huge bell and drum in the Star Pavilion, is beaten. Circles of sound waves drifted far and wide with a dull and distant sound, and reached the ears of everyone in the capital.

The bells and drums in the palace are never easily ringed for non-major events.

Once it sounds, it means that something big is happening in the palace! The last time it sounded was six years ago, when the Queen Mother died.

This sound, for everyone, is tacit.

In the hula night, kneeling on the ground, his black head hanging on the cold ground, the big eunuch shook off the dust, walked out of the heart cultivation hall with red eyes, and said in a high-pitched voice: "Please enter the hall of General Ning-"

"Minister, obey!" Ning Yuan knocked his head heavily, lifted his robe, got up, and walked towards the Heart Cultivation Palace.

When he passed by Li Shen's side, his footsteps did not pause for a moment, only his eyes unconsciously fell on his face. At this moment, Li Shen also raised his eyes, and the same sharp black eyes of the two met invisibly in the air, conveying a message that others could not feel.

However, after a pause, Ning Yuan turned around quietly and entered the Heart Cultivation Hall without looking back.
